City Year Louisiana wants volunteers for 100 Hours of Power

City Year unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service, giving them the skills and opportunities to change the world.

City Year Louisiana needs volunteers for the third annual 100 Hours of Power Service Marathon in New Orleans and Baton Rouge during the first week of June.

City Year Louisiana, a non-profit AmeriCorps organization, unites young people from all backrounds for 10 months of full-time service. As tutors, mentors and role models, members improve the lives of schoolchildren in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

For the past nine months, corps members have been working to create positive changes in the communities they serve.

City Year Louisiana's 100 Hours of Power Serve-a-thon is a 100-hour marathon of service that unites local citizens, corporate sponsors and City Year members to work together revitalizing schools and neighborhoods.

Several service projects will be going on Monday through Friday in various locations in Baton Rouge and New Orleans for a total of 200 hours of service.
